Biography:
Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.
The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

Intro: Dm-Edim-F-Bb-F/A-Bb-F/A-F-Bb7--Dm-Bb7--
Chorus 1:
Dm Dm Edim F
Crooked minds have gone astray
Bb F/A Bb F/A
Have they never learned from yesterday?
F Bb7
Only a fool would wear the crown
Dm Bb7(hold) A-Gm(hold)
One day the kids will tear it down
Dm-- x4 Bb--Gm--Dm--
Yeah
Verse 1:
Can't you see the
Dm
clocks are ticking away?
They try to fit more
hours into the day
To see that you was
crunching numbers away
We're running out breath
just to keep up the pace
And when did the
Bb
revolver start the race?
Gm
When did the revolver
start the race?
Dm
Accelerated architecture creates
a manufactured lifestyle
for the deranged
They swallow up the green
and build up the gray
And like tomorrows
kids dispose of today
And when d'you think the
Bb
roots will buy them out?
When d'you think the
Gm
roots will buy them out?
Chorus 2:
Dm
Crooked minds under gray skies
Bb
They can't live til something dies

Crooked minds ain't satisfied
until the ground touches the sky
Bb
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
Gm
(the kids will tear it down)
Verse 2:
Dm
Cemetery statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They're looking for an
answer to explain
the reason why
disaster strikes again
Dm
A picture perfect family
sits by the lake
swimming in a sea
of mechanical waste
And can't they see
Bb
a tragedy awaits?
Can't they see a
tragedy awaits?

Cauterize these butchered eyes

Gm
Nothing's left for you and I
Nothing's left for you and I
